This great mis­sion is that, among the major signs of the final Hour and among the keys of the huge deliv­er­ance that will dawn upon this Com­mu­ni­ty of Islam there will come a time on this earth when the call to the pre-morn­ing prayer will be raised in Dam­as­cus — at the white minaret East of Dam­as­cus ; the imam will want to step for­ward to lead the prayer when — lo and behold ! — the peo­ple will watch in aston­ish­ment while our liege-lord Jesus descends from the heav­en, his two hands rest­ing on the wings of the angels, his head seem­ing­ly drip­ping with water, wear­ing clothes which our liege-lord Muham­mad — upon him bless­ings and peace — described in great detail. He said that the col­or of his clothes resem­bled saf­fron dye, as if his clothes had been dyed with saf­fron and wars. Our Prophet Muham­mad — upon him bless­ings and peace — described for us the very appear­ance of the clothes in which Jesus would descend ! Such ves­ti­men­ta­ry descrip­tion sig­ni­fies noth­ing oth­er than addi­tion­al empha­sis on reflec­tion, per­cep­tion, and dis­cern­ment (dhawq) for the mean­ing of our con­nec­tion with this great mas­ter who was thus hon­ored by his Lord.

From the begin­ning of Ori­en­tal­ism, the Chris­t­ian mis­sion­ar­ies have been assum­ing that Islam is ​“head­less” enough to be attacked and scru­ti­nised with a feroc­i­ty that one can only con­clude bor­ders on fanati­cism. These mis­sion­ar­ies proved then that they don’t have the brains to acknowl­edge their own headless­ness. One such exam­ple is David Wood, a recent zeal­ous recruit by the ever-intol­erent Answer­ing Islam, whose only amaz­ing abil­i­ty is his extreme bel­liger­ence, and what can only be described as fanat­i­cal intol­er­ence, towards a faith dif­fer­ent from his. This is a review of one such arti­cle.

Khay­bar is an agri­cul­tur­al oasis sit­u­at­ed approx­i­mate­ly 165 kilo­me­ters to the north of Mad­i­nah, at an alti­tude of 850 m above sea lev­el. It is the sec­ond largest Har­rah in Ara­bia, after the Har­rah Banu Sal­im. Khay­bar enjoys fer­tile land and abun­dant water, hence it was famous for hav­ing many palm trees, apart from the corn and fruits it pro­duced. For this rea­son it was known as the gar­den of the Hijaz, because of its fer­til­i­ty, impreg­nabil­i­ty, and live­stock. There was a mar­ket place in Khay­bar called Suq al Natah, which was guard­ed by the tribe of Ghatafan, who con­sid­ered Khay­bar to be with­in their bor­ders. Because of its eco­nom­ic posi­tion, many mer­chants and crafts­men lived there, and there was much mon­ey-chang­ing activity.

When the Evan­ge­list becomes a Shaikh, the angels become poly­the­ists, wor­ship­ping Adam instead of Allah. When the Evan­ge­list becomes a Shaikh, the Nasikh becomes Man­sukh, the Mut­laq becomes Muqayyad and the ​‘Aamm becomes Makhsus, and vice-ver­sa. Not that it is not hilar­i­ous to read for Evan­ge­lists-turned-Shaikhs. It is at the dis­cov­ery of the lev­el of hor­rif­ic con­fu­sion and plain errors con­tained in the ​“fatawa” of the many Evangelists/​Shaikhs who sprung up in recent years that inten­si­fies one’s amaze­ment and baf­fle­ment, espe­cial­ly not­ing the lev­el of pub­lic­i­ty the writ­ings of the new Shaikhs receive in the west­ern media.

Mean­ing of Tawhid The word Tawhid comes from the verb wah­had which lit­er­al­ly means to unite. In Islam­ic ter­mi­nol­o­gy, it means to real­ize and maintain…

1) ARGUMENT FROM DISAGREEMENT I believe that the Bible is the word of God. The Qur’an dis­agrees with the Bible. There­fore, Islam is false. 2) ARGUMENT FROM…

In their hasty attempt to obfus­cate and attack any­thing that inval­i­dates their claims regard­ing the Prophet’s (P) expe­ri­ences dur­ing the peri­od known as the Fatrah, the Chris­t­ian mis­sion­ary Sam Shamoun had released a ver­bal bar­rage of rhetor­i­cal non­sense in his (ridiculously-)titled ​“A Chris­t­ian Per­spec­tive[!] of the Fatrah of Muham­mad”. Need­less to men­tion, it is nei­ther ​“Chris­t­ian” nor it is bal­anced in its ​“per­spec­tive”, as the author sim­ply remains true to the form of the mis­sion­ary tra­di­tion. This is fol­lowed by the equal­ly-messy straw­man argu­ments by his cohort, ​“Silas”, in his com­ments to our expo­si­tion of the Fatrah.

Recent­ly a South African Chris­t­ian mis­sion­ary by the name of ​“Gary” had been post­ing polem­i­cal snip­pets of untruth on his ​“web­site” about the character…

Mus­lims do not believe in Muhammad(P) as God or ven­er­ate and wor­ship him as God. We believe that he is a Mes­sen­ger of God, just like Moses(P) and Jesus(P), and that he brought God’s Words to us. He nei­ther con­ceived his own con­cep­tion of God nor did he told Mus­lims to estab­lish Islam with force. Mus­lims do not believe that Muhammad(P) is the Mes­si­ah. We believe that Jesus(P) is the Mes­si­ah. The only thing that we do not agree about him with Chris­tians is that Jesus(P) is a Liv­ing God and/​or a part of the Trin­i­ty along with God (The ​“Father”) and the Holy Spirit.

The Pil­lars of Islam are the cor­ner­stones on which Islam is built. There are five pil­lars of Islam. This is men­tioned in a hadith on the author­i­ty of Aboo ​‘Abd ir-Rah­maan ​‘Abdul­laah, the son of ​‘Umar ibn al-Khattab(R), who said : ​“I heard the Mes­sen­ger of Allaah say : Islaam has been built on five [pil­lars]: tes­ti­fy­ing that there is no deity wor­thy of wor­ship except Allaah and that Muham­mad is the Mes­sen­ger of Allaah, estab­lish­ing the salaah (prayer), pay­ing the zakaah (oblig­a­tory char­i­ty), mak­ing the Hajj (pil­grim­age) to the House, and fast­ing in Ramadaan.” [relat­ed by al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
